March Calendar
Monday Letter
Dear Parents,
hope you all had a nice weekend!
I am very glad to notice my students are so eager to read French books to complete our Reading 100 books for children in need project we started recently. Students are taking this project seriously and commit to complete the plan of the story required as proof of the book they read. We will keep you posted when the project is finished!
As mentioned before, this Friday we are welcoming a Scientist in School that is going to bring fun and engaging science experiments to our class related to Air and Water unit. Parents wishing to volunteer are welcomed e-mail me directly for further instructions.
In math, we are about to start learning about measuring length, perimeter and area. Specific details about how you can help your child at home could be find in the red homework duo tang.
please see also the March Calendar with other important dates.
have a nice week,
Mme Paraschiv

Dear Parents,
I would like to say THANK YOU and that it was my pleasure to meet all parents who came last week to discuss their child`s progress in Grade 2.
Last week`s 100th Day was really AMAZING and a total surprise for me! Students were extremely proud in presenting their creative and interesting presentations. Now they are all posted in the hallway, and I can still observe how students stop and read them over and over! The T-shirts created by some students were AWESOME!
After the long weekend, students were excited to be back and celebrate the Valentine`s Day and share their secret letters and their presents! We also made a big heart out of lots of small hearts. As you can see in the photos, all the mail boxes are displayed in the classroom and students are excited to write small letters to their friends even after the Valentine`s Day. Students were also provided with a large choice of activities related to 100th Day and they were very engaged into completing it.
And finally...the Gregg LeRock concert! I was very happy to hear parents and students enjoyed the show! I found it was a great experience and opportunity for my students to improve their oral and written French communication skills. I have sent home on Friday a CD order form for parents interested in purchasing a personally autographed CD from Gregg LeRock. Notice what an AWESOME T-shirt created and wore Jack for this concert!
As of Friday, February 19th, we started in our class a reading project we received from Scholastic (see the photos below in French and English). After we all read collectively 100 books, Scholastic will donate books to children in need! The cause really seemed to motivate my students and we already read our first story, completed the plan of the story and colored the first book on the poster together as a class. Every time a student will read a book and complete the story plan provided in class, he/she will color a book on the poster. Books chosen for this project are to be fiction stories only,aiming to train students to better understand the main parts of a story which will help them become better writers of their own stories.
This upcoming week, all students will be watching Sultans of string show at school.
Also, please note that on Friday there will be pizza lunch for all students!
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Mme Paraschiv

Short update about first week of March: on March 4th, our class is going to have a Scientist in School ( 9.00 - 11.35 am) related to the Science unit : Let it Flow: Air and Water and we will need some volunteers again!
Four parents volunteer are welcome to help us on that day. Please email me directly to let me know if you are able to volunteer. I will try to include parents who did have a chance to volunteer in our class so far. Thank you!
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Mme Paraschiv

Dear Parents,
This week started with amazing oral presentations about Water Conservation in Science (which were prepared in class during last week). Again, our students did their best to make creative, meaningful and interesting posters related to this topic. (photos to be added)
In Math, we have started to learn about Mass and Capacity. Students are learning to estimate the weight and weigh different objects using non standard units of measurements.
I can`t wait to see all the creative 100th Day of School`s projects! February 11th promises to be exciting and full of interesting activities! stay tuned for more photos to be posted..!
Please note in the Calendar some changes:
-- Dictee was moved from Feb 16 to Feb 22, so you can all fully enjoy the weekend!
-- Sultans of String show on Feb 25
As this week is dedicated to parent-teacher interview, I am glad to meet with you and discuss any concerns you may have.
Please do not forget.... Do Not Send your child to School on Friday, Feb 12th and on Monday, Feb 15th...! It`s a loooong weekend! :)
That`s all for now...
Sincerely,
Mme Paraschiv
